Wake me up in 2022 when we draft Bates

 

narrator: he signed the $250mi contract as fast as he could.

 

lol it's so dumb. no one knows anything and it would disadvantage him to say anything positive or negative one way or the other. but people want him out of Milwaukee so of course the most neutral of statements are "negative" or "putting pressure on" lol

 

fwiw i don't think he signs the supermax this summer. i think he waits until next summer to see how this post season goes. but acting like there's any pressure at this point is hilarious

 

For the culture

still the most electrifying performance in Bucks history

 

yuck, no thanks

 

Oh god please no.

 

I doubt that’s even legitimate but if it is, what the fuck? lmao

There’s exponentially better packages you could get.

 

Also, Kyrie would want out by mid-season.
Dude would be the third option on that team lol

 

Lots of reputable people RT’d him but yeah unless Brooklyn is giving us all of their picks or something

 

Assuming he’s available for Harden, is Simmons + whatever + picks not more enticing?

I guess it comes down to how you value LeVert and if you think Allen can take a leap.

 

Yeah, I’d much rather take Simmons lol

 

I want Simmons

if Harden gets dealt, thats my guy

 

I would very much like to see Houston trade Harden, a unique star that requires you to transform your whole team to maximize his success, for Simmons, a unique star that requires you to transform your whole team to maximize his success.

 

There’s been no indication Simmons would be moved but I feel like we’ve seen LeVert/Allen reach their ceilings so that’s a really strange trade rumor.

Simmons is...well, Simmons. But he’s wayyyyy way better than anyone in that deal.

Surely there’s a better haul out there for one of the best players in the league lmao

 

I don’t think Philly should trade Ben but I really really want to see Embiid/Harden

 

Simmons resets the clock back for Houston, allows Stone/Silas to build and mold a roster more forward looking... Philly is in a far better position to win a championship sooner now

I prefer that the most from my Rocket fan POV

 

I too want to see Embiid and Harden, mostly because those two together will be a whistle fest

 

Im right there with you.

 

if harden goes to the nets, it's over, just sim the season. what the hell

 

Lakers fans still gonna try to convince themselves that Lebron/AD can sweep a team with KD/Harden/Kyrie

 

They definitely could, harden sux in the playoffs

 

Well... Harden, Kyrie, and a corpse of DeAndre Jordan might be v rough defensively
